Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can become pregnant. However, the percentage of conception is much lower and the number of miscarriages is much higher than in women without PCOS. If a woman with PCOS gets pregnant, then she should consult her doctor about the drugs she takes, because certain of them may damage the embryo.
